Thanks Justin i think i will go with locally storing the information and have the controller get the information. I am trying to figure out from the code how the controller will get the information, could you please point to the code and what type of message it will be, , from the openflow spec there is no such messaging that supports this. Thanks

If you wanted to process them locally, you could store the information in the configuration database and have your controller get the information using the OVSDB protocol. --Justin On Feb 13, 2013, at 6:21 PM, vis reddy <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Justin, > How do we report a link connected to another switch, the switch has detected > all the neighbors by lldp.
